I thank Mr. Justice Quirke and Mr. O'Malley for their presentations. On foot of a recent Seanad debate on this issue, the Minister for Justice and Equality indicated to myself and Senator Jillian van Turnhout that the Department is undertaking an active review of this area. It is conscious of the need for reform and the rape crisis centres have also been pressing for this. There is a protocol currently in place between the DPP's office and rape crisis centres.
